Lovedale, known as the "HEART OF THE HUNTER", is in Hunter Valley Wine Country directly east of the Pokolbin area. Lovedale is a community of boutique wineries, quality guesthouses and homestay accommodation. Fine restaurants, unique galleries, and recreational facilities such as golf, hot air ballooning, horse riding and adventure trips are at your doorstep.

The Lovedale experience is based on quality, value for money and personal service. The community works closely together to povide the visitor with a complete service that is friendly and family focussed. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. There is less traffic, less haste, and stunning views. Everyone is encouraged to linger longer in Lovedale!

The Lovedale signature event is the Lovedale Long Lunch, when thousands of people flood into the area to have a 'taste' of what Lovedale has to offer. The 'LLL ' is held on the third weekend in May each year. In addition, wineries conduct their own functions such as Country Music in the Vines, String Quartet in the VInes, olive oil promotions, and pasta classes. Other special events mark the release of a new vintage and celebrate living in the Heart of the Hunter.

We would love for you to come visit ... explore its secrets ... and meet our Lovedale community.
